POS Warfare: Difference between revisions

Line 366:

Small towers should generally be taken down, unless the attackers are few in number. In hi-sec wars, your primary defense is going to be ECM, but the enemy can still bring smart bombing battleships or drone boats to take out the batteries. If you absolutely must leave a small tower in place, anchor a few sensor damp batteries and up to (16) ECM batteries (4 of each type). They will still probably destroy the tower, but they will be forced to rely on smartbombs / drones and it will take a lot longer. You must be prepared to unanchor and remove any modules inside the POS tower such as Mobile Labs, Advanced Mobile Labs or Corporate Hangars.

Medium towers can anchor and online around (24-30) ECM and large towers can do setups with as many as (48-60) ECM. Or you can simply go the shield hardener route and maximize your shield resists. The ECM method is generally preferred in hi-sec, combined with a few stasis webs, sensor damps, and small/medium weapons (projectiles, lasers, ~~railguns~~) for picking off stragglers or drones.

Medium towers can anchor and online around (24-30) ECM and large towers can do setups with as many as (48-72) ECM. Or you can simply go the shield hardener route and maximize your shield resists. The ECM method is generally preferred in hi-sec, combined with a few stasis webs, sensor damps, and small/medium weapons (projectiles, lasers, rails) for picking off stragglers or drones.
